After bowing at the lotus feet of the sage, the two brothers went off, gladdening the eyes of the whole world. A crowd of children, beholding the exquisite beauty of the two brothers, followed them, their eyes and heart fascinated by their beauty.

Clad in yellow garments, they had quivers hanging from a cloth (of the same colour) wrapped round their waist; their hands were adorned with a beautiful bow and arrows. The lovely pair, one of whom was dark and the other fair, had their brows marked with(red or white)sandalwood paste to match their complexion.

With necks as well-built as the lion’s and long arms, they had on their bosom an exquisite string of pearls obtained from the forehead of elephants. Their lovely eyes resembled the red lotus blossoms and the moon-like face relieved one of the threefold agony.

Their ears were adorned with pendants of gold, so lovely as to steal the hearts of all beholders. They cast a bewitching glance and had a pair of arched and shapely eyebrows and foreheads marked with the caste-mark as though stamped on Beauty herself.

Their comely heads were decked with charming rectangular caps and dark curly locks. The two brothers were lovely from head to foot; the beauty of every limb was as it should be.

When the citizens received the news that the two princes had come to see the city, they all left their work and ran out of their houses like beggars to pillage a treasury!

When they saw the easy grace of the two brothers, they were enraptured and attained the consummation of their eyes. Sticking to the lattice-windows of their houses, young ladies lovingly scanned Rama’s graceful form.
